Do not use DISH SOAP as lube it will attack the aluminum at the bead seats and over time cause pitting and air leaks .
MSDS and from the Goldwing forum you can use Armor All sprayed on a sponge to lube tire beads and rim lip . No chemicals in Armor all that attack Aluminum or rubber .
Many detergents are alkaline and will etch aluminum , and Sodium chloride ( salt ) look at cars that live up north .
So using soap on your bead and never getting it rinsed off will no be a good thing .
I change all my own tires for the last 19 years . Good tools and practice make it easy job .
